Summer Internship – Audit or Tax

About Grassi

After more than 40 years of business growth and industry change, Grassi has redefined what it means to be an advisor and accountant to today’s businesses and individuals. Nationally ranked as one of the largest and fastest-growing accounting firms in the nation, Grassi is a leading provider of advisory, tax, and accounting services across key sectors including construction, architecture and engineering, not-for-profit, healthcare, manufacturing and distribution, financial services, real estate, and more.

Several publications have ranked us among the top accounting firms to work for, highlighting our strength in work-life balance, culture, and wellness categories.

With over 550 employees and nine offices spanning the New York Metropolitan Area, Long Island, the Northeast, Florida, New England, and an international presence in Italy, we are strategically positioned to serve clients locally and globally. In 2023, Grassi became an employee-owned company by implementing an ESOP, establishing our independence and empowering our people to drive the firm’s future success. The ESOP ensures that equity partners and all Grassi U.S. employees have the exclusive opportunity to own the firm’s stock, making them integral to the company’s future.

All interns start as a team from their first day, and bond as a unified group. During the first week of the internship program, the intern class will go through a comprehensive training and professional education program. This program is designed to ensure that the intern has all the tools necessary to perform their day-to-day duties, as well as the ability to accelerate quickly in their career.

Everyone will receive a “buddy” whose main purpose is to answer any questions and guarantee the intern adapts to their new responsibilities and environment as quickly and seamlessly as possible. Interns will be scheduled on a variety of industries and clients while working in small groups with other Associates, Semi Seniors, Seniors, Supervisors and Managers. During this time, the intern will focus on developing skills, building their technical knowledge, understanding, and executing diligent client service, and getting oriented to the Firm’s practices, policies, and culture.
